Me and my ex husband divorced 4 years ago, we have two daughters together.

My ex husband remarried 1 year ago, and I knew that he and his wife were excepting because my daughters told me that they would get a sibling. Now this Friday it was his week with the girls, he called me and asked if I could please take them earlier. When I asked him why, he told me that he needed to be with his wife at the hospital. I said no, that is not a reason to disobey the court order and that he either could stay with the girls, leave the girls with a babysitter or take them with him to the hospital. I hung up before he could continue.

He texted me about two hours after telling me that I was extremely sick in the head and that for once, he was in a situation where he needed my help and I refused. His best friend who was a mutual friend of ours until the divorce also texted me and said that he hoped I was happy with myself.

I don’t get how I could be an asshole but it obviously seems like he and his best friend has come to that conclusion, if I am the asshole yes I will apologize but firstly I need to know.

Edit! My kids are fine and I of course would have taken them if no one else was available, I am not a monster. They are currently with his best friend as my ex is still in the hospital with his wife. So no, I would not him “rather” leaving them with a stranger as many of you assume.
